Pretend you're a billionaire. Which folder do you buy for actual use?

Was I billionaire...

I would establish a small edged tools factory that would manufacture good small production edged tools. My own factory :) Im sure I could squeeze some of my own drawer sketches into prototype products including folders I'd then carry and test.

I'd also like the idea of a my factory having a department of design and testing lab with various customized scholarships to gifted future artisans interested in knife steel metallurgy, edged tools design, manufacturing and testing.

I would also create a fairtrade development project for chosen target countries that have rich edged tools history but due to economy are manufacturing in low level production and quality level. Project would aim at
a) individual bladesmiths to produce a steady amount of specific products for global market under this project brand but with their distinctive talent and recognition
b) low level production shops infrastructure, machinery, design and management aid to help them achieve western markets with products that would please the demanding western knife/edged tools consumers
c) a few special small manufacture scale subprojects to create edged tools related scholarships and jobs abroad in specific areas for displaced ethnic groups that get very little help from anywhere due to here unspecified reasons.

:) So Id guess I would carry and use my own folder then...
 
I have allot of wonderful knives already. If there were no limit on what I could spend on knives, I'd be like a kid in a candy store. I'd surely commission one like this and I'd use it.

I'm sure it is as beautiful as Coop's image.
 
Seriously though, I would propably grab one of these folders made by Koji Hara (always admired these):

Any knife from Tony Bose, just like I do now.

If I'd be billionaire, I'd buy Victorinox-Wenger corporation. Then I would make way to make Busse-Victorinox hybrid with all the money I have: Victorinox Pioneer made out of INFI...
 
uber fancy, expensive knives don't impress me a bit... I'd still carry the same great knives I have right now because these are perfect for my needs as they are... FFG G-10 Delica, Urban Leaf G-10, Sage 1, UKPK G-10.
 
My pic would be a Burger Exkelibur EXK 1 with carbon fibre. Not a real expensive knife but one of extreme quality. Oh yeah...I would go to his shop and pick it up.
 
If I were a billionaire I don't know what I'd need a knife for except maybe a gent's knife. What I would do is commission Cliff Parker to create knives for my friends and family having damascus blades and bolsters with their images and those of their families as part of the damascus pattern. If anyone can do it I'm sure Cliff can.

If I'm to dream then make it a good one.
 
Probably something close to the blades I carry now what I carry now. But who knows.

EDIT on second thought I would probably carry a T.Bose folder and buy more customs.
